Asamoah Gyan has cast doubt over his future by admitting it could lie
''anywhere''.

Gyan, 26, is currently on a year-long loan deal with United Arab Emirates
side Al-Ain after making a shock exit from Sunderland only a season into a
four-year contract.

Black Cats boss Martin O'Neill has hinted the Ghanaian is unlikely to return to
Wearside as the UAE club attempt to thrash out a permanent deal for a man whose
temporary switch cost them around £6million.

However, despite chief executive Carlo Nohra having recently voiced his
confidence that Gyan will stay, the man himself is determined to keep his
options open.

Gyan told Sport.360: ''Honestly, I'm very happy since I came here, everything
seems to be perfect.

''Definitely if you go somewhere and everything there is perfect, you want to
stay, but we are still in negotiations and we will have to wait and see until
the end of my loan deal.

''It could be anywhere. I'm ready to go anywhere and I need to make the right
decision. Any decision I make, I think, has to be the right decision for me, not
for the people.''

Gyan has scored 24 goals during his time in the UAE, 19 of them in 16
Pro-League appearances to help Al-Ain clinch the title.

Former Sunderland boss Steve Bruce had high hopes of his £13 million-plus
signing when he landed him in the wake of a series of impressive performances
for his country at the 2010 World Cup finals.

He scored 11 goals in all competitions last season, but ended the campaign as
the club's only fit specialist striker with Darren Bent having left for Aston
Villa in January and with loan signing Danny Welbeck and Fraizer Campbell
injured.

The summer brought rumours of a possible move away from the north-east, but
Bruce thought the matter had been resolved before it emerged that he had left
the club on loan in September.
